Neil Custis

The irony that Aeroflot are United's official airline partner :)

He also drinks in my dad's local, the Fletcher Moss in Didsbury.

Such is the industry, guys like Custis are nothing more than reporters now.

Not so much journalists, more invited attendees to regurgitate the scraps the club are obligated to in terms of the weekly presser.

Match reporting is irrelevant, so I'm sure Custis isn't kidding himself, he knows he is in a very fortunate situation, these days, still paid to travel to games around the world, merely because the newspapers exist for the sake of existing.

It's so sad.

The internet drove down standards and, unfortunately, people such as Custis are now considered the top of their game out of nothing more than their longevity.

The people coming after him are all social media junkies who wouldn't know how to source a story or cultivate a contact if they were handed it on a plate.

Matt Lawton at the Mail has just won sports journo of the year again.

Now he's a sports journalist.

And before anyone holds up the standards of broadsheets. Most of them have been at the red tops, prior. The only reason they moved on was because they couldn't hack it in such a demanding environment.

Having all week to come up with a beautifully constructed prose, ten-a-penny out there.
Interesting insight from somebody in the business
 
Any Russian ultra's have a Twatter account? Post his photo and said he called them all a bunch of soft twats...

What a load of fupping twaddle - the route is usually from broadsheet to red-top. Any fule knows that.
